We buzzed about the movie “IJE” last year. Now the trailer is here for all to experience. Shot on locations spanning Jos, Nigeria and Los Angeles, California, IJE tells the tale of two sisters Chioma and Anya, the choices they make in life and the consequences of they pay for those choices. Chioma, a child growing up in the Nigerian countryside, warns her restless sister, Anya, about the pitfalls in trying to attain the American Dream, but all to deaf ears. Now, ten years later, Anya is accused of killing three men in a Hollywood Hills mansion—one of them her record producer-husband. Chioma has to travel from Nigeria to Los Angeles, and with the help of a young, unproven attorney, discovers that the dark secret her sister wants to keep hidden from all, but which might be the only thing she has to gain her freedom. The movie stars Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde.

ok so it seems to me like genny gets better in her acting every single time i see her while omotala gets worse….just my thots sha…looks like it’ll b a fab movie nywaiz…n yay!!!!!!!!! m d first to comment!!!!

I saw the movie and it is very different from the norm. The technical quality ie sound, picture, direction and production were perfect. Although it is about the two sisters Genevieve and Omotola, the supporting cast gave alot to the movie because the found good actors for the roles. There was no suspence because you pretty much know how it was going to end, but it was still interesting to know how they got there. My favorite part was back in the village before the girls grew up, it was very realistic and natural.

Omotola and Genevieve were great as always, but Omotola was Exceptional and that could be because she had a more dramatic role. Genevieve seemed a little intimidated by the other actors in a few of the scenes, but was great too. When you watch this movie, you have a greater appreciation for those two (Gen & Omo T) because no other two actresses in present Nigeria could have played those roles. Absolutely in a league of their own! This is good step ahead(hopefully), something new, original and well done. Good job!

I here it’s a must watch and Genny and Omotola delivered their parts well. I’m not surprised at Genny at all. She somehow makes it all worth the wait and watch. Love the girl. Omotola can hold her own too, I just feel she needs to be more consistent with the “stellar”. Wish both of them and the producer of the movie good luck.

Miajadore, Genevieve was “supposed to be intimidated” by other actors cause that was what was required for the character in the story, according to what I was told by someone who equally watched it and is not even much of a Genny-fan but unlike you, thought she was on point. Genny was a JJC who had come to save her sister from prison, never been to America before. Yes she played the more timid part, but the point is she must have done a hell of a job for her to actually convince you that she was indeed intimidated.

Omotola on the other hand was in familiar territories….haven run away to America as a child. Plus she was a “Beyonce” wonna be, so of course she would appear more confident and tough. And clearly she also did a great job cause you’re equally convinced. Bottom line both girls played their parts well.

I know you are entitled to your own opinion but still I don’t think it’s fair for you to give a verdict on performance on a movie that isn’t yet public. And as a fan of Genny and her movies, I would appreciate it if you did not send her to the slaughter for us just yet. Lol!!!

That said, I feel we have allowed these girls’ social standings and celebrity status cloud our judgment of them as character actresses. If we allow ourselves focus more on the character in the story and less on the character’s “face”, I feel we would find ourselves actually watching “a movie” and nothing more.

I’m sorry, but what were you ranting about? Are you sure you were replying to my comment? and what part of it did I “give a verdict” and “send Genny to the slaughter”? I think your head is spending way too much time up your a$$.

Proud of my Girl..Chineze Xandria Anyene( producer/director of IJE) this is just the beginning, hope you give some of the so called directors in Naija a run for their money..maybe they will step up and see that excellence in all is key. IJE is a must watch, A+ all the way babes. I am proud of you!

Chineze Xandria Anyene( producer/director of IJE) is a woman nko? Chei, this Nigeria! I’m so happy! It’s hard enough for a woman director to break-in in Hollywood but for a woman in Nollywood to do something on this caliber…! I’m proud and thankful for her!
